摘要:

通过研究年轻白矮星通过球状星团47 Tuccenda核心的扩散,我们估计了祖星失去大部分质量成为白矮星的时间。根据图格里克47年的白矮星祖先恒星演化模型,我们发现这个时期与恒星上升到渐近巨星分支(AGB尖端之前的$3.0 \pm 8.1$ Myr)和氦闪光之后的9000多万年(90%的置信度)大致一致。从年轻的白矮星的扩散,我们可以排除大部分质量损失发生在红巨星分支的四西格玛水平的假设。此外,我们发现,水平分支星的径向分布与红巨星和上主序星的径向分布是一致的,而与红巨星分支在6 σ水平上损失超过0.2个太阳质量的情况不一致。

英文摘要:

By examining the diffusion of young white dwarfs through the core of the globular cluster 47 Tucanae, we estimate the time when the progenitor star lost the bulk of its mass to become a white dwarf. According to stellar evolution models of the white-dwarf progenitors in 47 Tucanae, we find this epoch to coincide approximately with the star ascending the asymptotic giant branch ($3.0 \pm 8.1$ Myr before the tip of the AGB) and more than ninety million years after the helium flash (with ninety-percent confidence). From the diffusion of the young white dwarfs we can exclude the hypothesis that the bulk of the mass loss occurs on the red-giant branch at the four-sigma level. Furthermore, we find that the radial distribution of horizontal branch stars is consistent with that of the red-giant stars and upper-main-sequence stars and inconsistent with the loss of more than 0.2 solar masses on the red-giant branch at the six-sigma level.
